Sinipag ako e!!

., Chapter XXI [part two]
"DARREN! JULIA!"
The thing I'm most afraid of, has come.
Dad has caught us. Si Dad na papa nila Darren. He was in USA for all we know, pero... Dumating na siya. And he was staring at us like crazy!
"D-Dad.." I uttered.
Darren held my hand tight and he's sweating.
We're scared.
It's not that he has caught us, it's that, the possibility that we'll be separated from each other. Ngayon pa, ngayon pa na natutunan ko na siyang mahalin ng buo.
"Dad..." Darren muttered back. Kurt arrived.
"Darren! Lianne!" Kurt exclaimed.
"What's going on here?! Why did you kiss for god's sake-?!" Dad asked. Mom has arrived too, and she was shocked.
"Kate! What's up in here?!" Dad asked.
"Peter... I don't know-"
"You don't know?-"
"STOP!"
Darren yelled.
We stared at him. He held my hand tighter.
"Didn't you see?! We love each other!"
Darren..
"Love you say?! It doesn't exist! You are siblings! That's enough!"
Dad went to me and pulled me away.
"Darren!" I yelled.
Nagpumiglas ako. Darren was struggling in the arms of Kurt.
"This is a joke. You can't destroy the name of our family!"
"Peter, stop it."
"Who the hell cares about the name of this family?!" Darren answered.
"No, Darren! Stop-" Hindi na natuloy ni Mommy Kate 'cause..
"Whose fault was this?! Who told you to change her surname?!" Darren answered back. "If you didn't accept her as the member of our family, this couldn't be happening for-"
Unexpectedly, Dad punched Darren.
"Peter!" Mom screamed.
Silence.
"You have no right to tell that to us.. We didn't raise you to answer back." Dad said and walked out.
I rushed to Darren.
"Are you okay? Darren..?"
"Y-Yeah... I'm fine.."
"It isn't your Dad's fault.." Mom said.
"Ma.." Kurt uttered.
Napaupo si Mama sa kama.
"It was I who told him to accept Lianne in this family.. It was because I badly want a daughter... It's just that... After I gave birth to Darren... I wasn't able to bear another one because-"
"Ma, stop it." Kurt said.
"Sorry.."
"It's okay, Ma."
"But because of my wrong decision before... You two will..."
Nangyari na. Everything has came out wrong now. I don't blame Mommy Kate for her decision, it's just that... Haayyy..
--..--..--..--..--..
"Hannah..?"
I called Hannah after awhile. I was in my room deeply thinking what to do.
"Hello? O Lianne-"
"Hannah! It's the end... Wala na..."
"Ha? What are you saying..?"
"Dad has returned and he caught me... And Darren... I don't know what I'll do!... I'm scared that Darren and I would get separated... I can't take it!"
"Calm down, Lianne!"
"Hindi pwede! Natatakot ako! I can't... I can't do anything.."
"Lianne..."

DARREN'S POV:[/b]
I was lying down on my bed. Paano na..? I'm determined to fight for JJ, pero takot ako sa maaaring gawin ni Dad.
Suddenly, the door opened.
"Darren."
"Kurt.. Bakit hindi mo sinabing darating si Dad?"
"I didn't know! He... He said he wants to talk to you."
"Sus."
--..--..--..
I entered the study room where Dad was.
"What..?"
"You're transferring to USA."
"What?! No! I can't leave and I won't!"
I can't leave JJ here... Hindi pwede...
"You'll study there! Ayokong maiwan ka pa rin dito! You need to forget about Julia!"
"Ayoko! Hindi ako papayag! Kung ayaw niyo,aalis na lang kami ni JJ dito!"
"No! You won't leave together! Kung ayaw mong pumuntang States, I'll send Lianne out of this house! Choose! Aalis ka, o si Lianne ang aalis?!"
Bakit kailangang humantong dito..? Why do we need to sacrifice for each other..? Was it wrong to love?
"I'll give you time to think about this. But I want your answer immediately."
I walked out of the room without saying a word.
Ang hirap. Ang sakit sakit.
Bakit kailangan pang may umalis..? Why..?
--..--..--..--..
"Darren?"
Mom entered my room. She sat down beside me.
"I'm sorry... Darren... It was because of me that the two of you are hurting.."
"It's not your fault... Ma." I answered. "What I can't understand is kung bakit hindi pwede? Pwede namang sabihin sa mga tao ang katotohonan..!"
"But it's difficult.."
"Didn't you and love each other too? You must understand how hard it is-"
"We didn't. Your Dad and I..."
"You're... Fixed marriage...?"
Mom nodded.
"You see... May iba akong mahal pati siya... Pero dahil sa influence ng both families..."
"So ganun? You want JJ and I to be the same?!"
"No, Darren.. But... But actually... The second option your Dad has chosen was that, arrange a marriage meeting for the two of you."
"NO! I'll never do what he wants!"
Hindi pwede..
"Please understand Darren.-"
"YOU must understand us!"
"Enough, Darren! Enough!"
"No Mom!"
"Darren, whatever you do, it will turn out the same. It's enough. And I believe that this conversation is over!"

JJ'S POV:
[/b]
My tears started falling as I walk away from Darren's room.
I heard everything. And it hurts. I think, they're right. It's useless to fight. Even if we fight and fight, we'll end up losing and hurting again.

I think it will be the best to give up.[/b]
